Scope and Contents

Terret, vice-president of the Association of the Propagation of Faith acknowledges the receipt of Lefevere's letter of Jan. 10. He thanks Lefevere for the details it contained. The Treasurer of the Council of Paris will acquaint Lefevere with the amount of the allocation for the diocese of Detroit which he is charged to pay. His letter will also bear him both an assurance of the lively interest which the Councils of Lyons and of Paris do not cease to have for the missions subject to his jurisdiction, and of the desire to help him in his holy enterprises as far as the state of the receipts and the number of missions will permit. Choiselat has the right to acquaint Lefevere of the Councils' intentions regarding the religious establishments of the Congregation of the Holy Cross of Le Mans and of the Redemptorists in Lefevere's diocese, as well as the designation of the amount of money that ought to be sent to the Redemptorists. Terret asks Bishop Lefevere to accept the Association's thanks for his solicitude in establishing the association for the Propagation of Faith in his diocese. In accordance with Lefevere's demand the Association has not failed to send His grace the indicated number of copies of the annual reports in different languages. These copies are attached to the ballots which they will send every two months to Father Stephen Rousselon, the vicar general of New Orleans who is in charge of details of administration for the society in that city. Rousselon will have the right to keep copies. Terret asks for a continuation of particulars Lefevere finds useful to send in order that the Society might know and appreciate more and more the condition of the Diocese of Detroit. He also wishes especially that the attached form be filled out column by column according to the headings of each column. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
